LRC Resources

Books

There are approximately twelve thousand books in the LRC. These are divided into three main areas:

Fiction
These are "made up" stories. To help you choose a book, they have been categorised into "genres" and colour coded.

Non Fiction
The non fiction section is arranged by the Dewey Decimal Classification system. This means that you will be able to find a book by the number on its spine. The numbers start at 000 and go up to 999.99.
To find out more about these systems, visit the Book Classification page.

Reference
Reference books include dictionaries, encyclopedias, directories, indexes, atlases and maps. These books must always be available for other people to consult. They are shelved with the non fiction books but they have a red label to indicate that they cannot be taken out of the LRC.
